"One of the key lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I think, is land warfare which will continue to be such, especially when there are contested borders like in our context. I believe victory markers have to be defined in the land domain," said General Manoj Pande.

Commenting on tensions in eastern Ladakh, he said the previous year was challenging.
